Week 15 Internship Blog

 

Hello everyone and welcome to week fifteen and the final blog post that comes along with it. Talk about a semester, through the ups and downs of school and life, it is truly crazy how fast these semesters pass us bye. This will be the final blog post of the semester, although I would usually say I wish it wasn’t, this time I have worked long hours to get bye through this semester for my classes and I am whooped. This week has been packed full of studying for finals and working on projects to round out my classes and show the culmination of what I learned throughout the entire semester. In this blog post I am going to talk about what this experience meant for me and what I learned. I will then round out this blog post with what I can see in my near future and my goals moving forward.

As everyone should know, an internship is extremely useful for many aspects of your journey. The ability to meet new people and work with possible colleagues in the future under a great supervisor like Dr. Gannon. This internship has given me an accessible window to many skills and opportunities to use them for this project as well as in the future. My teammates were great to talk to when we did, and to learn the different aspects of what they were working on was very interesting. Diana especially out of the group I worked with the most with me sending her my research of the battle and the summary of it for our website. I truly can’t wait to see this project come to its fruition and achieve its goal to give these fallen Union soldiers a deserved memorial.

As for the future, I will be moving on from this project to join a different project and contribute to their goals. I have also decided to start writing a historical fiction book about World War 2, but I can’t say yet what it will be about as it is still in the infinite stages. I intend to work on this book for a while as I have never written a book before and would also like to look into the prospective of becoming a professor. This path would ultimately require a higher degree than just an undergraduate and so I need to prepare to get my masters and possibly even my Doctorate degrees.

I feel like I am moving down the right path and look to continue bringing more to what I can offer every day. Thank you Dr. French, Dr. Gannon, and my team. Thank you Tiffany for helping in my presentation. Thank you for the opportunity and I wish all well in the future.

Week 12 Internship Blog

  Hello everyone and welcome to week twelve of this semester’s internship. This week our internship group met Thursday morning in preparations for the upcoming research colloquium. This week I want to discuss about this new preparation and other internship and school stuff along with the importance of having hobbies outside the “office” to continue high productivity. It is my unfortunate dilemma that I will not be able to be with my team and present with them on the seventeenth of November especially being the first to present. However, although my presence won’t be they’re via zoom, I will however provide everything required and help my team to give an amazing presentation to gain more support for our project. The idea of this research colloquium is to provide our work and findings to a greater audience outside of ourselves. My presentation will be going over the battle itself, providing pictures and images of the generals at the battle and the man that thought of doing the oper...

Week 12 Internship Blog

  Hello everyone, Patrick Callaghan here posting the last blog of my summer semester internship for week number 12. What an experience this has been. All the weekly meetings and weekly classes have all been a blast to attend and learn from. However, as this first internship ends a new begins for me as I have decided to continue on during the fall semester with Dr. Gannon to complete our goal. But as it is the last week I see fit to reflect on such an interesting and grand experience. I found the final presentation was a great way to glance back to week 1 and every week leading up to this week. My one regret through this entire internship was not being able to go see the battleground with my team or by myself. As someone that really enjoys going to memorials local, national, and international. Even if this site was not up to par in the respect it is given by the locals, it allows us to see history and respect the soldiers that fought and fell. With not being able to go I think it ...
